"Fifty-three percent of voting attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference selected Vance, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio finished second at 35 percent. No other candidate cracked three percent."
"Last year, Vance led the poll with 61 percent and populist firebrand Steve Bannon, who was not on this year's ballot, came in second with 12 percent. Rubio garnered only 3 percent."
"Many analysts believe the Trump administration's militarism abroad-especially the war with Iran-raises political risks for Vance, who has built a reputation advocating for a more restrained foreign policy."
J.D. Vance secured 53% of votes in a straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. Marco Rubio followed with 35%, indicating a shift in support. Last year, Vance led with 61%, while Rubio had only 3%. The results suggest Vance remains a favorite but has lost ground to Rubio, who has been active in the White House. Analysts note that Vance's foreign policy stance may pose risks due to the Trump administration's militarism, particularly regarding the war with Iran.
